Weekend finds: The search for a hot pink belt

Earlier this week, I purchased these shoes from Payless. I love hot pink. Always have, always will. The outfit that I had in mind for this shoe is a button-down tunic top and jeans. Sounds pretty boring, right? But, with bright colors, I try to keep it simple. I don't want to be too flashy. I decided to look for a belt to compliment the shoes and jazz up the outfit. I went to 579 yesterday. They had the perfect belt that looks similar to this one (in hot pink, of course), just not in my size. No biggie. I waited until today to continue my search. I went to another 579 to find the belt. Still no luck. Then, I went into Charlotte Russe. They had quite a few choices, some in different shades. I chose this one that was closest to the shoe:

belt $8.99, Charlotte Russe

Now, the pic makes the belt and the shoes look way off, but in real life, the belt is actually a wee bit off from the shoe. No prob. Since the belt is on top and the shoes are on the bottom, you really can't tell. I tried them on with the top and the jeans and this is the result:

Very cute! I can't wear mine until spring because it's way too COLD here! :( Some of my ideas for wearing the shoes was with denim minis, tops that had a hint of the color or complimented it, a dress, and dark denim capris (I am crazy for them in the summer!).

First, the outfit would right away look a lot better if you had a darker wash jean on.

The bracelet is too matchy-matchy.

Also as cute as the belt is I think it could be about a half an inch, to an inch smaller, to compliment your shape.

I LOVE the shoes, and I LOVE pink, and you could really work this outfit if you tweak it just a little.

Also, not to be picky, but the necklace ruins the line of the outfit. You should stick to a smaller necklace so it doesn't compete with the belt, OR you could wrap that very cute necklace into a bracelet, and get rid of the pink one.

lol..I'll be honest: Loving the long cotton top.Not feeling the belt. Not a fan of the belt under tities trend. Like anon said, too matchy and a darker wash would look great...I like the bracelet, try adding one of a diff color like beige or blue like the jeans.

U might wanna wear tight (dark wash)jeans (e.g;skinny jeans) instead of these bootleg jeans to show off the shoes,forget about the bracelet and neckless (u dnt wanna over assecorize now do u?!) besides less is more,u want ppl to admire ur belt and shoes!

Hey Chica, I’m not really feeling the shirt... It's a bit too long and I think if it was 3/4 sleeved it would look better... I like the accessories, but yea the necklace doesn’t work...I don’t agree with the darker jeans… you are wearing pink and white…. Why would you wear a darker color? It’s a really cute outfit overall...I like it…
